Is this the first of repecussions for PI pulling it's troops?
Well here we go, 6 foreign truckers kidnapped. This is just the beginning of a whole lot of these incidences not the the Philippines left. India, Egypt and Kenya do not even have troops in country. Stand by for some of these incidences to happen in the Philippines as their government has shown how they will fight terrorism. Read about it:

Micheal Moore has a pledge on his website. Basically he is asking his fans to sign this pledge. One of the more noteworthy things in his pledge are:
3. I Will Adopt 5 Nonvoters I Know and Take Them to the Polls.
You know who they are. Your slacker friends who have given up on the whole rotten group of politicians who run this country. Or they're the people you know who have had their lives made full of hardships thanks to the policies set by those very politicians. They too, have given up. And who can blame them? Why should they waste two minutes on voting?
Of course, that is just what those in power want them thinking. The more of us who give up, the more the rich and powerful can run amok over our lives. And there is perhaps no election in our lifetime more important than this one.
Pick five of the people you know who probably aren't going to vote. Acknowledge their despair and cynicism. Don't try to talk them out of it. But gently give them pieces of information over the next few months.
And then make a plan for Election Day. Take them out to vote and out to lunch (you pick up the tab!). Or have a party that night for those who voted that day.
Or get more creative. Offer a six-pack to anyone in the office who votes (make sure you're not working in cubicles full of Republicans!). Promise to have sex with a nonvoter - whatever it takes!
Basically buying or encouraging people to buy votes is illegal so Moore may have just overstepped the bounds. Moorewatch has been seeking clarification through Federal Authorities and is concidering reporting this as election fraud.

I've posted quite a few quotes from this guy and others over on Laila's More Than Quotes blog but tonight instead of posting links i would just like to blog about it.
Let's see, he was a Harvard trained lawyer so I have a feeling he knew what he was doing was against the law. He was also Head of the NSA so he knows what Top Secret is. Basically this guy should be arrested and charged, maybe even as a spy.
How the heck do Top Secret documents accidently get stuck inside your clothes. Sorry, I do not buy any of this guys BS. There must have been some damaging documents that would mess with the Clinton legacy, not that I think Clinton has a legacy.
This guy was there for one purpose and one purpose alone, get rid of the evidence. This was a security breach of the highest caliber and Sandy Burgular should be locked up awaiting arraignment for violating National Security as well as any other federal charges they can bring up. If i would have done something like this when i was in the Navy I'd still be in Leavenworth.
it is high time that the Bush Administration stop giving Clinton and his crony's a free pass. I want this guy locked up, charged and convicted. I don't want to see no darned slap on the wrist either. I want to see some big time punishment.

35 years ago today Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. Do you remember what you were doing. I was living in Napa, Ca at the time and remember that we all had our faces glued to the TV set. It was a great accomplishment and I am wondering why we haven't returned.

USS Ronald Reagan will arrive Friday.
The USS Ronald Reagan will be arriving in it's new home port of San Diego on Friday and the city is pulling out all the stops. Should be very interesting. Sure glad I no longer work in Coronado and glad I don't work at North Island. The traffic is going to really be miserable with three carriers in port.

PM of Australia Speaks Out.

Seems like Sandy Berger, Clinton's National Securtiy Advisor has just been caught with his hands in the cookie jar. Seems he was allowed to view classified documents prior to his 911 testimony. The only problem was that he didn't just view them. He carried a bunch of them off and lsot a few in the process.
This guy is a lawyer and knows better. I wonder what is being covered up, who's covering it up, and why this is not getting the National Press it deserves. See the article.
AP: Clinton Adviser Probed in Terror Memos
I wonder if this guy is going to ,walk just like the rest of the folks involved with Clinton seem to do.

Ronstadt Fired after giving a tribute to Micheal Moore during Performance.
Some of these popular musicians and Hollywood starts still don't get it. They can't keep thier mouths shut and then, though she hasn't spoken out about it yet, I am sure she will scream censorship. Political statements while on stage just doesn't cut it. See article:
Aladdin expels Ronstadt after political remarks

Security Problems at Los Alamos Again.
These boneheads are in the press again for security problems? When it the Government going to crack back on these idiots. if there is anyplace in the country that should be secure, it is Los Alamos. I tend to think if they were to give UCLA the boot some of this stuff would go away.
These are the same clowns who, I believe it was last year, had some security problems reported by some security personnel. The solved the problem by firing the guys that reported it. Read about the latest security breach right here:

Don't ever go with you wife on a Girls Night Out.
Hey guys, if you are ever invited to a Girls Night Out, be forewarned, they may act a little differently then you are used to. My wife and I have been married for almost 23 years now. For the past year or so her and her friends have been having what they call the Girls Night Out once a month. I think it is great and she always seems to have a great time and it gives me the house all to myself to play on the computer and watch TV.
Well after much prodding on her part the wife finally convinced me that I should go. Friday I managed to get off work very early, which was good as I have a few errands to run, like picking up the dry cleaning, and going to the Post Office.
Right after I got home, I got the good ole phone call from the wife saying they were going out after work and did I want to go. I gave her my standard, no I’ll stay home, but she finally talked me into it.
Well I proceeded to spend the afternoon getting some worthwhile quotes for Laila’s, More Than Quotes Blog, and taking care to make sure it was formatted properly when the logistics phone calls started coming. In addition to me attending this event my daughter was also going. Well the first phone call was that the wife was going to ride with some of her friends and I was supposed to take the daughter up in the wife’s car. After talking on the phone I started working again on my posts however I had several tabs open and instead of closing an unwanted tab I unintentionally closed Netscape and lost all my work.
Well after talking to myself about what a dummy I am I started again and then got another phone call. This was the first of the logistical changes for the evening out. My wife’s friend Michelle would pick up my daughter and then I would pick up the wife at work and we would go up together. She also wanted me to go to the bank and get some cash. Well I went ahead and told her “no problem” and then went back and immediately did the same thing to my desktop again losing my post and links. Well after a few nice thoughts about my computer skills, NOT, I decided I’d get the bank thing done.
I came home from doing that and while driving and listening to the news go some ideas of other subjects to post about, started doing that as soon as I came home. Then came another logistical change. The wife was going to be late and so instead of picking her up at 4PM I had to pick her up at 5PM. And of course what did this 48-year-old man of the world, who has been using computers since 1982 do? You guessed it, desktop gone again. Well now I decided I was having a bad computer day, so I logged off and figured I’d just do it later if doing it at all. I watched the news and it had all the Martha Stewart fiasco and said to myself, I have to quote some of this stuff so I logged on and started again. I managed to get it all posted this time before the next call. Melissa got stuck in traffic and wasn’t going to make it to the house in a reasonable amount of time, and I was almost out the door to pick up Rose.
Well I told Melissa to just meet us at work and we would all go up together. No problem, we got downtown, Melissa was there, and though rose was a few minutes late, we all got together and off we went. So anyway, I ask them where we are going and they said Barona Casino and Resort. No problem, off we went and everything was fine until we got to about 1 mile from our turn off route 67 to get up to Wildcat Canyon Road, when we virtually were stopped due to traffic. While we were stuck in traffic I happened to have the Michael Savage show dialed in on the radio and his Guest Host was Rick Roberts, out of KOGO radio right her in San Diego. He started the show by talking about Whoopi Goldberg, who Rose loves, but the show took a turn and they started talking about why do people need to use Slim Fast in the first place. There were a lot of totally stupid people calling the show, and even the wife, who hates talk radio with a passion, was laughing her butt off. That actually made the traffic jam tolerable. Until, I found the cause of the traffic jam. Some clown ran out of gas and all of the looky loo’s thought it was an accident.
Well we got to the casino, and the girls all started swapping cell phone numbers so they could locate each other. I thought that quite odd, but figured they do this once a month so they must know what they are doing.
Now I have been out gambling with Rose before and she is very conservative, playing the penny video machines and such. Not this night. She was off playing machines that I have never seen her play and betting more than she normally does. Well we ran into more of their co-workers there and I just kind of went off in my own little world playing the same way I normally do.
Dinnertime came around and we went to the buffet. It is an all you can eat deal and they had Alaskan King Crab Legs, which all the girls seemed to love. I myself am not big on seafood so I had fried chicken and some Mexican Food and ate a lot of fruit. These folks devoured I don’t know how many Crab Legs, but they had crab on their hands, their arms, and in their hair. They had a huge plate of crab shells in the middle of the table that turned into a virtual mountain of shells. I actually got a little embarrassed.
After dinner it was back to the slots, and these folks were awesome. Someone runs out of money, no problem, just get some from someone else. And they kept going until 4:30 in the morning. I finally got everyone dropped off and I got home at 5:30. The only problem with that is that on Saturday mornings I teach a class of seniors from 10AM-1PM on how to use computers and various software.
Anyway, while it was fun, I think I will continue to pass up Girls Night Out, in the future. These people get crazy when grouped together.
